R.I.P. Les. Thanks for the memories and help through the years, with your engine-building expertise to having you as a great friend. Having you and Muzz parked beside me all those years certainly gave me a lot of knowledge and confidence. Will miss our catchups at H.O.Fame evenings. You certainly proved to be a worthy NZ Champion and a legend to NZ Speedway. You will be missed by many.
